The newspaper Delo reported on Monday the Ljubljana Local Court had awarded Marko Bublić, one of the 13 defendants found guilty in the retrial in March, 6,000 euro in damages.
Bublić had demanded almost 19,000 euro for the inhumane conditions during the more than 940 days he spent in detention in Ljubljana's prison in Povšetova Street from his arrest in May 2010 until the end of December 2012, when the original trial ended.
The court argued that Bublić had spent only around two-thirds of the time in indecent conditions, according to Delo.
The court listed as inappropriate conditions too small a personal space area in Bublić's room, too high temperatures in summer (30-40 degrees Celsius in a room without shades or air conditioning), stuffy air and sewage small.
The ruling is not final yet, meaning that Bublić, who has received 16 years and one month in prison, or the state attorney's office can still lodge an appeal.
The other co-defendants having received the damages for inhumane detention conditions are Jakob Remškar, Boštjan Kopčič and Dragan Beljkaš.
Remškar received 5,000 euro a year ago, while he had demanded 25,000 euro, but Delo reported today that the ruling was also not final yet.
Meanwhile, Kopčič reached an out-of-court settlement with the state already back in November 2014, receiving almost 8,200 euro.
Beljkaš, however, received 12,000 euro on the basis of a 2015 ruling of the European Court of Human Rights, while having demanded 77,500 euro.
Bublić, Remškar and Beljkaš were found guilty in the retrial of drug trafficking and racketeering, whereas Kopčič was only found guilty of drug trafficking.
The Slovenian drug-trafficking ring with ties to Serb drug lord Darko Šarić was allegedly led by Dragan Tošić, whom the court sentenced to 16 and a half years in the retrial.
The same sentence, the highest given out in the retrial, was also given to Beljkaš.
